Availability

So as I said I work from home 5 days a week. This also involves shift work but I know my shifts about 2 months week in advance so we can try make it work whatever the situation. As I said working from home I always try to get out lunch so I don’t get cabin fever so I can guarantee a dog walk every lunch time and plenty of pee breaks to get me away from my desk. I have football Tuesday Thursday evenings that take me out of the house for about 3 hours between 7 and 10pm, and I do enjoy going to the gym on other evenings for 1-2 hours. Again if looking after one of your 4 legged friends I will make sure my schedule fits around them to give them the best care.

A typical day

Typical day back home when I had my dogs was up between 7 and 730, get their breakfast and morning walk in till about 830. Back home start my work day, toilet break for the pups at 11/11:30 then when I get lunch between 12 and 1, out into the park for a 10/15 minute run about. Then again another wee toilet break around 3/330, dinner time around 5/6 then out for another walk then it’s sleepy time beside the fire while I chill out.

Life is just better when there is dogs involved.

Pet care experience

I have had dogs in my life since I was 8 years old. Growing up back home we had Jasper and Rosie running round the house day and night, and they were just the best companions to grow up with. I’ve been with them from their first pee outside to jaspers last walk on the beach and as I’ve said life is just better with dogs involved. Now living up in Belfast my home is very quiet without a 4 legged friend. I am unfortunately not in the position to own a dog out right yet so I feel this is the perfect medium. I work from home 5 days a week, love going for lunch time and evening walks, and just love giving dogs the attention they need and deserve for being the best animals on the planet.

Matthew and Daryl were great! They facilitated a meet up before the booking to make sure Sulley felt comfortable and he absolutely loved them. We really appreciated the updates throughout the day and know he was well cared for! Sulley would love to come back in the future 🦮
